Chapter 777: 777 I Dare Not, So Afraid

Song Jinwen glared fiercely at Lin Gantang and, with a huff, clicked her high heels angrily as she turned and stomped back to the rest area.

Lin Gantang, fearless, followed her back.

As soon as Song Jinwen entered, the lively conversation inside came to a halt; many people, some openly and some sneaking glances, looked at her.

Presumably, they all knew about what Zhang Ruxin had said.

Song Jinwen’s gaze slashed viciously toward Zhang Ruxin, hidden in a corner.

She clutched her handbag, considering storming off, but a glance toward the racetrack made her stay put, seating herself resentfully.

Lin Gantang then left the rest area just as two racing cars roared past her, one after the other.

Lin Zhaonan’s car had not yet finished the race; unlike Song Jinwen, who arrived with a purpose, Lin Gantang seemed much more relaxed, casually snapping a photo and posting it on Moments.

“That was Shang Hui’s car that just passed, wasn’t it? Watched for a few laps, and Shang Hui definitely has the best driving skills.”

“Those impressive skills are like an attractive bonus, and I heard Shang Hui is single. Too bad there’s no chance to be his date for a day.”

Overhearing this, Lin Gantang glanced at them, taking in their glamorous outfits and attractive looks, before looking away.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Maybe her brother had asked her to come not only because Jiang Tongtong didn’t know how to race, but also out of concern that Jiang Tongtong might get the wrong idea.

Having seen her fair share of periphery workers around wealthy people since she was young, Lin Gantang understood the dynamics within, but Jiang Tongtong might not.

One of them, sensing Lin Gantang’s gaze and remembering how Shang You reprimanded her for looking at him twice, realized Lin Gantang’s status was different from theirs.

That person didn’t dare to strike up a conversation with Lin Gantang and nudged her companion instead.

Lin Gantang was absorbed in her phone, seeing a notification and opening it to find a comment from Le Yu.

[Mount Qinghe? Wait for me to come back, and let’s have a race.]

Lin Gantang refused, [You actually want a quiet and refined lady like me to race? I dare not, I’m so scared.]

Le Yu: […]

At this moment, someone stood in front of Lin Gantang, who lazily looked up.

“Excuse me, Miss Lin, hello, I’m the girlfriend of Mr. Yu, named Qiduo.” Qiduo approached with a sweet smile.

“Mr. Yu? Don’t know him.”

Qiduo’s smile instantly stiffened, unsure of how to proceed.

The wealthy men they tried so hard to latch onto did not even register in the eyes of the truly rich.

Having been with Mr. Yu for quite a while and hearing Lin Zhaonan mention Lin Gantang was his sister, Qiduo knew that the woman before her was the Lin Corporation heiress set to marry into the Wen family.

Seeing an opportunity, Qiduo wanted to seize it, but clearly, the person before her wasn’t easy to make friends with.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhaonan and the others had warmed up after a few laps and returned to the starting point for a race.

Lin Zhaonan was not good at racing; after several laps, he was still in the middle or at the back, while Shang You led the pack with Shang Hui in second, struggling to catch up.

After a few tries, Lin Zhaonan parked his sports car, and Lin Gantang went up to meet him.

“Mr. Lin, you’re not up to speed, are you, riding a snail?” Shang Hui, already stopped up front, came over to pat Lin Zhaonan’s car, “Such a waste of the car’s high performance.”

Lin Zhaonan was not upset enough to get angry over his “not up to speed” comment, admitting generously that his skills were lacking, “I’ve given everyone a good laugh.”

The others joined in one after another, still buzzing with the excitement of their high-speed thrill, “Shang Hui, not everyone can be as impressive as you. Mr. Lin’s interests aren’t here; it’s normal to be slower.”

“Exactly, it’s all for fun, the ranking doesn’t matter.”

Shang Hui glanced at Lin Gantang and, slinging an arm around his friend’s shoulder, looked at Lin Zhaonan with a mischievous smile, “Mr. Lin, let’s have another go, shall we? I feel like you didn’t give it your all. This time, let’s bring our dates along, with their cheers, we’d surely have to up our game, right?”
